JACKSON L. PRIOR, OF FAYETTEVILLE, NORTI-IOCAROLINA.

NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

SPCIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 737,137, dated August 25, 1903?.

Application filed May 25, 1903. Serial No. 158,585. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern,.-

Beit known that I, JACKSON L. PRIOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fayetteville, in the county of Cumberland and State'of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non- Reiillable Bottles, of which the following is a specication, such as will enable those skilled appertains to make and nying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters, said drawing beinga central vertical section of abottle made according to my invention.

In the practice of my invention, as shown inthe drawing, I provide a bottle a of the usual or any preferred form and the bottom of which is provided centrally in the form of construction shown with a tubular filling-orifice a2, which is closed by a grounded-glass stopper b, which in practice is secured in position by glass, cement, or any other suitable material and cannot be removed.

The bottle a is provided with two necks a3V and a4. The neck a4 is made in the form of an inverted U or inthe form of a halfcircle, and the nozzle thereof is directed downwardly, as shown at d5, and the neck a3 may be formed and secured to the bottle after the bottle has been made, or it may-be formed at the same time as the rest of the bottle, and the neck d3 fully incloses the neck a4 and forms a chamber which extends above and around the neck a4. I also provide a closure device c for the neck a4 or the nozzle a5 thereof, and this closure device is provided with a cord c2, and the ble device c2 is left hanging in the neck a3 of lthe bottle. The bottle a may then be filled through the filling-orifice 0,2, after which the plug orstopper b is secured in place, as hereinbefore described. The neck a3 may then be closed by the stopper d or, if desired, the closure of the neck a3 may be accomplished before'the bottle a is filled. Whenever it is desired to empty the bottle a or discharge a portion of its contents, vthe stopper d is removed from the neck da and the cord or other iieXible device c2 is pulled, so as to remove or detach the stopper or closure device c from the neck a4, afterwhich the contents of the bot# tle may be discharged by tilting it or inverting it in the usual manner. After the bottle has been emptied of its contents it cannot be 'refilled by pouringliquids into the neck as,

for the reason that when the liquids rise to the discharge end of the neck a4 in the necka3 the air in the bottle a will prevent said liquids from flowinginto the bottle.

The neck'a4 of the bottle is also preferably provided with a valve e, which opens outwardly but closes inwardly, and this valve will prevent any successful effort to fill the bottle by holding it on its side and forcing liquids into the neck a3. e

My invention is ,not limited to the exact form of the neck a4, as any loop-shaped neck will do, nor is my invention limited to the particular construction of the stopper or closure device c used in connection with said neck, and various .changes in and modifications of the construction vherein described may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its ad` vantagesand I reserve the right to make all such alterations therein as fairly come within the scope of the invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,V is* f' l. A bottle of the class described, provided with two necks one of which-incloses the other,

the inner neck being in the form of a loopy and the nozzle thereof directed downwardly, means for closing the inn er neck, and a de vice for closing the outer neck, the'body' of the bot` tle being also provided with a filling-orifice and means for permanently closing the same, substantially as shown and described.

2. Abottle of the class described, provided with two necks one of which incloses the other,

my invention I have signed my naine, in presenoe of the subscribing Witnesses, this 23d ro day of May, 1903.

the inner neek being loop-shaped in form and the nozzle thereof directed inwardly, said inner neck being also provided with a Valve which opens outwardly, and the body oi the hottie being also provided with a filling-orioe and ineens for permanently olosinajT the saine, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as JACKSON L. PRIOR.
